If IA32_MISC_ENABLE[22] is set by the BIOS, CPUID.0.EAX will be limited to 3.
Lift this limit before considering whether to query CPUID.7[ECX=0].EBX for
features.

Without this change, dom0 is able to see this feature leaf (as the limit was
subsequently lifted), and will set features appropriately in HVM domain cpuid
policies.

The specific bug XenServer observed was the advertisement of the FSGSBASE
feature, but an inability to set CR4.FSGSBASE as Xen considered the bit to be
reserved as cpu_has_fsgsbase incorrectly evaluated as false.

This is a regression introduced by c/s 44e24f8567 "x86: don't call
generic_identify() redundantly" where the redundant call actually resampled
CPUID.7[ECX=0] properly to obtain the feature flags.
